Looks like nearly all of these clauses will be coming into play in the coming year.

I particularly like the nasty features of LT28 gain (the sort you get from investing in gold): if you can't hit it with losses or 15%MAGIC, then it gets taxed at 28% even if you're not in the 28% bracket. Fortunately, we seem to have some losses.

In other not entirely unrelated news, the Icelandic Krona is still not trading. Wheee.

(*) where applicable, "becomes FOO loss" means "kills FOO gain then becomes FOO loss"(**) ORD = all of your other income minus deductions and exemptions, ORD3000 = ORD with the exemptions added back, if that's a gain, but then capped at 3000(***) 15%MAGIC is the top of the 15% bracket minus ORD gain, if that happens to be smaller
